I am a 32 year old mother of two boys, ages 4 & 6. I am a PT caregiver for an elderly person and I have a social work backround. My son who is 6 has special needs and requires ALOT of attention.
My son who is 6 has special needs. He is NOS but is in a self-contained NYC (special ed) class. He has an IEP and is receiving services. He also has ADHD combined type.
Some relaxation techniques and possibly network with other caregivers. Also, just allow myself some "me" time.

Welcome Colleen! The techniques you will experience are simple and you can also use them with both your sons. I will be happy to share with you specific techniques that will also help them when we meet. Yes the Circle is also an opportunity to network with other CareGivers. Looking forward to meeting you. Feel free to call me in the meantime so I can address your specific needs [masked]

Hi Colleen, sorry for not getting back to you..things were crazy lately! I'd love to get together again soon..i'll text you after this weekend, i'm studying for an exam so i've been pretty glued to my books! hope all is well!
Hi Colleen, are you going on Sunday to the consignment sale? I want to go, do you know anything about the parking setup? I probably won't get there until about 10:30, how can I find you and the others?
Thanks, Linda
There will be no group on May 29, 2011, due to the holiday weekend! Come join us on June 5, 2011!
At the last session we addressed the topic of transitions for children of special needs and autism. We address a new topic each Sunday, but there is always the flexibility for group members to deal with emergent issues and obtain support from other group members. This is an open group, so don’t be concerned if you missed one or more sessions. You are always welcome to attend!
Hi Colleen!! Hope Colin had a wonderful B-day on wednesday!! and hope he has a great b-day week!!
Hi Colleen,
It appears we are the only ones going to The Wizard of Oz this Saturday. As this is the 1st event I've attended I wanted to know the process. Do we just go to the theater and wait outside to buy the tickets together so we can sit together? Should we be exchanging cell phone #s? Sorry for being so naive.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Cami
